HeartMath® Inc.’s HRV Platform Solutions Available for Licensing
Leader in HRV data and research grows its footprint among
chipset and consumer electronics manufacturers
Boulder Creek, California – December 17, 2014 – HeartMath® Inc., recognized as one of the
world’s foremost authorities on stress, heart rate variability (HRV), heart coherence and the
physiology of emotions, is now licensing its extensive HRV databases and algorithms to
chipset manufacturers and consumer electronics companies. The licensing opportunities will
enable HeartMath’s partners to offer its HRV solutions, tap into its HRV sensor knowledge,
extensive research, as well as its normative HRV databases and algorithms for developing
consumer products.
HRV is a powerful biometric that reflects the health of the autonomic nervous system and an
individual’s mental and emotional flexibility and ability to handle stress challenges without
getting overwhelmed. Accumulated stress can lower HRV and reflects accelerated aging.
Partner manufacturers can now integrate HeartMath’s library of current stress and chronic
stress algorithms and solutions into their own chips, which are then used by consumer
electronics manufacturers for licensing the functionality from HeartMath. The company’s
platform technology can be used for a wide range of applications including the reduction of
anxiety and stress, as well reaching optimal performance, and mental and emotional
composure in high stress environments.
Major brands including Samsung, Qualcomm and Red Bull Media are already working with
HeartMath, due to its expertise and depth of data for HRV assessments, monitoring and stress
reduction training. Samsung is licensing HeartMath’s proprietary HRV database for its
integrated mobile health S-health platform, which will provide users with the ability to assess
stress levels, plan workouts and help with healthy eating choices.
As a world leader in HRV, HeartMath Inc. and its sister research organization, the Institute of
HeartMath, have spent over two decades researching and educating health professionals and
consumers about HRV feedback and its vital role in stress management, emotional selfregulation and optimal performance training, as well as increasing vitality and resilience.
HeartMath clinical studies have demonstrated the critical link between stressful emotions,
heart function, and cognitive performance. This work has been published in peer-reviewed
scientific journals that include the American Journal of Cardiology, Preventive Cardiology and
the Journal of the American College of Cardiology among many others. HeartMath is also wellversed in the consumer products space. The company’s latest consumer product, Inner
Balance™ trainer, is designed to reduce the negative effects of stress and increase personal
performance and mental clarity. The app and HRV sensor train users to synchronize their
breathing with their heart rhythms. This combined with a highly specialized emotion regulation
technique trains users how to increase their HRV and access a high performance state called
heart coherence. 58 percent of HeartMath technology users indicate utilizing the technology
three to five times a week, even after owning the product for two years or more.
“By deploying our platform solutions to a multitude of licensing partners, HeartMath is able to
take its normative databases, algorithms and technologies for helping individuals manage their
health and wellness to the next level,” said President and CEO of HeartMath, Dr. Deborah
Rozman. “Our extensive research into the powerful HRV biometric can play a vital role in
helping consumers manage their health, and we are excited to see major brands recognizing
the value of HRV in our everyday lives.”
